Dark Matter Coffee is run by entrepreneur Jesse Diaz, who formerly worked as a barista, before venturing out on his own. Diaz learned all about beans through hard work, and today his shop in Ukrainian Village specializes in barrel-aged coffee which uses fermented beans that yield deep and complex flavors. The artisan roastery stands out among its Chicago peers by its fearless attitude to experiment with roasting and brewing techniques. It boldly tries innovative methods but also revives long-lost traditions. This coffeehouse features quirky charts and pipes on the walls to exhibit the coffee brewing process, and vintage equipment displayed flamboyantly in a separate space, making the place resemble a museum. The groovy background music, whimsical decor and rich coffee makes the cafe an undisputed winner.
